Smell is the most primitive of all our senses. Our smell receptors send messages directly to the limbic system - the deep part of the brain that controls emotions.
Essential oils distilled from natural botanicals can exert a powerful influence on our mood and spiritual balance.
They can even improve sleep and manage pain. And they can be a potent ingredient of your beauty routine that visibly lifts both your internal and external well-being.
Diffuse aromatherapy oils using a diffuser or spray bottle to evoke a particular mood and move you closer to your desired intention. Oils can be applied directly to your skin diluted in a neutral carrier oil - argan oil and rosehip oil are both excellent carrier oils.
Why not try mixing your own essential oil blend to create a bespoke beauty treatment that works its magic just for you.
Aromatherapy oils are a beauty essential. Research what works for your mood as well as your skin, or get started with these classic beauty boosters.

This month, the real thing that everyone should be aware of is Men's mental health.
However due to how 'trendy' this stupid Pride events are, this is slowly being forgotten.
For those men out there, seek help! Its ok to shout for help!
For those men out there, who were suffering in silence because the gays and radfems thinks that being men makes you unemotional, cry out loud! Its ok to cry and let it all out!
And most of all, fuck this 'Pride' thing! There's absolutely nothing wrong being gay, but there's absolutely nothing special about it.
I am ready for the harvest roast. You know it is full blown chile season when there are roasters at every grocery store and roasters setting up in parking lots on random street corners. That smell... 😋
